Now pages are inspired by Derek Sivers – and if you don’t read his stuff, you should.
So, this is mine. Updated May 2025
Speaking/ Workshopping
This is the 5th year I’ve been speaking, and the last year I’ve gotten the chance to speak internationally. If any of these concepts seem interesting – send me a shout.
Survival Metrics
Teams have to know when to stop. If this last era of technology taught us anything, it’s that the teams that understand how to change direction stick around. It sounds simple: Change when things aren’t great. The thing is, it’s pretty difficult to do this without a language and numbers to guide you—that’s where Survival Metrics come in. Come in with a desire to focus on what matters and leave knowing how to do so that brings others along.
Strategic Custody
What happens after you build a strategy? If you aren’t careful – it can end up just a piece of paper that no one references. Much like a tree that falls in the forest, what happens if it doesn’t make a sound?
This is why Strategy Custody is important. How your strategy travels and affects the people who are affected by it is the difference between an alive strategy and a dead one.
Overcoming the 5 Sins of Strategy
Strategy is hard; however, more than getting the right strategy is needed. You have to execute. That said, 90% of teams, according to Harvard Business Review, fail at execution. As much as we worry about getting the right strategy, we need to learn how to use what we’re given to make an impact. These five behaviors are what I’ve seen stop teams from executing.
Come in not knowing what to do with the “strategy” document, and leave with the tools to make sense and execute with whatever leadership gives you.
Self- Healing and Art
I’m journeying through my own bouts of trauma that drive my depression and anxiety. A few of the places that have manifested are in my weight (looking to lose – food was a release for feelings), my compartmentalizing of relationships, and how I lack discipline around some areas of my life.
Proud of my success using tools like somatic therapy, ketamine, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, journaling, and working out (kickboxing is a part of the routine). I’d like to work on being comfortable with quiet.
My Now Page is for just the facts :-). Thanks for reading.
